Man Drowns in Lake
Spartanburg Kerald
Paul Simpson, well known young business man of Spartanburg, was
drowned in Lake Lanier late Thursday afternoon. When wading he step
ped suddenly into a deep basin. Companions on the fishing trip, O. T.
Gallman, jr. and J. H. Sudduth, made every effort to bring him to shore
and to revive him immediately on the recovery of the body. Dr. Earl
Grady, of Tryon, who was called to the scene, said that there was no
y evidence of heart trouble and that either drowning or cramps was the
cause of his death. The accident occurred about 4:30 and the body was
recovered within 20 minutes. Members of the Boy Scouts on the lake
tried for more than two hours to revive him. There was no pulmotor in
Tryon, it was said.
Mr. Simpson, Mr. Gallman and Mr. Sudduth left the city for Lake
Lanier at about 11:30 a.m., arrived at the lake at about 12:30, and, after
fishing for a while, ate lunch on the shore. Simpson is said to have gone
into the water within 15 minutes of eating lunch. His companions said
that he dropped suddenly beneath the surface without uttering an outcry
and that his body did not once rise to the surface after he first disap
peared. The accident occurred in the channel of the second basin of the
lake, near its head and some distance from the bathing beach.

Baseball Tomorrow
